BOM's new boss asked to examine $96.5M bill for website redesign
- skx001 11mo agoI need to learn how to get these Government contracts. Do you know the design firm/agency behind this redesign project? Side note - This again shows, in consulting/agency work, always charge more than you think. If a government department is willing to pay $97M for a redesign, then surely independent consultants can charge way more then they usually do. Patio11 right again.
- NvrBeenToAus 11mo agoMain contractor is Accenture Australia per this: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-05/true-cost-of-bureau-of-meteorology-new-website/105948508 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-05/true-cost-of-bureau-o... >The ABC understands the government awarded business management company Accenture Australia a $78 million contract to develop the new website's content management system (CMS).

- NvrBeenToAus 11mo agoI understand why Accenture would want to charge but I don't understand why their clients would want to pay. They seem very successful at this across countries.
- abstractspoon 11mo agoI much preferred the old design but am getting used to the new one. The rain radar changes were my biggest complaint, and I complained multiple times until they stopped asking.
